Michigan has reported more than that 2.8 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were administered, starting Friday.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 29 million cases have been reported in the US., with more than 530,900 dead reported by the virus.

All over the world, more than 118.7 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 2.6 million have died. More than 67 million have been recovered, according to Johns Hopkins University. The actual figures are certainly much higher, due to limited evidence, different ways in which nations count the dead, and the deliberate under-reporting of some governments.
